All those saying why not permanent seat endorsement? You should be informed that there is no vacancy for permanent seat at the UN Security Council at the moment. The only available vacancy is for non-permanent member and achieving the support of all AU members is a big fit so, we are sure of no divided votes. As for becoming a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Nigeria needs to prove to the world that she has come of age in terms of technology, military might and economic development. Until we get there, we shall cross the bridge 1 Like |

You cannot destroy slavery by becoming a part of your Master’s cultural incubator." - John Henrik Clarke Today is African Liberation Day, but why are we celebrating? We are not free yet, we are still slaves and we don't even know it. We are economically, politically and mentally colonized. We export raw materials and agriculture, then we import finished goods just like colonialism. We import most of our products, many big industries are controlled by foreigners. We accept all these foreign aid and loans to make us debt slaves. We rely on foreign contractors to build everything for us. We value everything foreign. We cannot unite, there is tribalism. Global Africans are continually demonized and marginalized everywhere in the world. We don't control our media, so we are represented poorly in the media. We have the worst Human Development Index in the world. Many of us are illiterate and don't live too long. We only speak our colonizers languages such as English, French and Arabic. African nations are now trying to introduce Chinese in classes even though our languages are dying out. We have high maternity deaths, high infancy deaths. Our best doctors and minds move to foreign countries to develop them while our continent deteriorates. This is just like slavery. Most of us don't know our great history, we only know that we were slaves and colonized. African culture, languages, religions, clothes and names are dying. We still have self hatred and inferiority complex. We cannot work together. We still fight in proxy wars funded by foreign forces that allow other countries to benefit from our resources. Our resources are still coming from the ground to fund other countries while ours are poor. We are pawns for other country's foreign policy. There are more foreign troops in Africa than during colonialism. AFRICOM is coming to Africa to kick out the Chinese and and secure investments, mines and African resources. But we won't discuss real issues we only discuss things that don't matter like celebrity gossip and European/American sports leagues. And when we discuss real issues people label it as conspiracy theories. We are still neo-colonized and our government is controlled by foreigners. They serve to keep the entire country as permanent cheap labor source, cheap resources and a consumer market. We still have the ICC only putting Africans in jail. These bad International Monetary Fund, World Bank Loans and the World Trade Organization are not serving our interests. The United Nations peace keeping troops do nothing for Africa and actually causing more damage. The colonial Pact makes Francophone African countries slaves to France. So, I am NOT celebrating African Liberation Day. I will not celebrate this until we are free from mental, political, and economic slavery/colonization. We must control our own economies and produce what we consume. Love our own products, services and businesses. Go to tourism in our own countries. Build our own institutions instead of going to other ones. Work together worldwide in Pan Africanism. Working together for the uplift of ourselves. Pan Africa' leaders and the African Union MUST NOT BE AFRAID to unite as one nation and declare themselves a United States of Africa. Imperialist are not helping any African but rather furthering their own agendas." Racism denies people's access to life, liberty, to the pursue of happiness, to proper education, to control over their own resources etc. 4 Likes |

I don't remember well, but I don't think this is the first time Nigeria is serving on the Security Council as a non-permanent member. What we've been angling for and competing against South Africa and, I think, Egypt for is a permanent seat on the Council. So the worthwhile news would be if we'd got it. 1 Like |

Great Nigeria and Africa at large, have you ever seen a real black man and a white man compete for something without favouritism and bias of any kind? The blacks always win, so now tell me why they would not be scared of africans, Nigeria at 50's, the rate of development scared them cos when they are at 50, they are not as developed as Nigeria, we keep complaining becourse we know we can do and desearve better. Following the likes of Walter Rodney of Africa and Bob Marley " we gat to kick those bald head out of the yard" let's believe in ourselves and keep penetrating I must bet it with you they (the white's) gona regret it one day even if its take a while.@nairalanders good observations, let's motivates ourselves. |

There is nothing special about being a non-permanent member of the Un security council. I think we have occupied that seat sometime in the past. A non-permanent member does not have veto power to veto decisions so the seat is more or less ceremonial. We should be pushing for our well deserved permanent seat in the security council. It is a good move all the same, kudos to our foreign policy & diplomats, it shows that Nigeria calls the shots in Africa. |

Go Nigeria. It is time we start behaving like civilized people and instill civility on our people everywhere. We need to organize ourselves and use every opportunity available to us to develop our society. It is about time we fight for the peace of Africa and have a voice as Africans in what is politically going wrong in all parts of the continent. |

koastar: I don't know if you meant to correct me or something, but I knew before writing that there are only five permanent seats on the Council and they're all taken. The issue is that two new seats, I think were to be created, one of them for Africa. And Nigeria is very interested in it along with SA. That's where I said the big news is: whether we've merited it. |
